Baggy Blitz!

 Today in between walks along the seashore I finished an order for two bags for a mum & daughter.

This is the Julie bag - the first was to have shorter straps & I used reds, browns & aqua
 
The second one was to have longer straps & I used a lovely purple & aqua fabric combo.
 
The pattern is called Julie and was written by the very creative Griselda . It has loads of outer elasticated pockets, a snap closure & an inner zip pocket.
Although the instructions are in German, there are plenty of photos to help keep you right. I loved making this pair & seeing how the slight alterations to fabrics & measurements made them both so unique. This is definitely one bag I will be making again!
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine!
Karen

    I hopped over to Griselda's website - some lovely stuff - just not sure if I could cope with the German!
